Evaluation
We only have the students for 40 periods so were hard pressed for time and interacted with target groups (usually family) rather than Heinz Wattie's. Unfortunately, we were unable to receive feedback from Heinz Wattie's on the final photos and/or the students' products. However, there were several worthwhile solutions. Next time I would set the scene differently and involve Margot more – the offer was there but I simply ran out of time. The brief was tricky as it required us to use whole cans of product which meant that large quantities were produced. There were also rooming and resourcing problems due to the technology facilities being readied for an upgrade, so there is plenty or room for improvement of a similar assignment in the future. The students had heaps of fun and gained a lot of valuable product development knowledge from the unit.
